Day 1

Day 1 - 7-:45 PM - Flying Pig Youth Hostel, Amsterdam.

Arrived in Amsterdam at 2:45 PM (5:45AM in Texas), somehow managed to buy a train ticket to central station. Wandered aimlessly after getting off the train, asking random people where the "flying pig hostel" was and eventually just accidentally found it. Put our stuff away in our 16 person hostel room with bunk beds. However, the entire place is crawling with people speaking languages I cant understand.

Definitely was in cultural shock for the first 3 or 4 hours, and definitely almost got hit by at least 5 bicycles. Taking a brief break right now, after trying unsuccessfully for a little while to buy a map of europe. We are actually going to plan out the trip with a pen and highlighter. Route to come soon.

Tomorrow we are going to rent bikes and go site seeing in the city, perhaps visit the Heineken brewery. I can still hardly believe that I am here.

Miss all of you

You made it!!!!
Glad you are ok and are there safe and sound! Rest and get your "Europe Legs" going. Watch the bikes and riding the bike to the Heineken might not be the greatest idea knowing you and Garett! Love you Bubba!!!!
